Through different historical characters, humor, little known facts, and thought-provoking stories, Taxing Maine explores what taxes mean for Maine communities, the state government, the Maine landscape, and Mainers’ wallets. The performance, featuring David Greenham and Dennis A. Price from the Theater at Monmouth, encourages us to consider how history and a range of opinions and beliefs about taxes have influenced our current taxation system. Thanks to Jon James of TheVoiceGuy.net for making this recording.

I encourage people to explore this alternative way of addressing a public policy question - David Greenham and Dennis Price of the Theater at Monmouth performed this in 33 maine towns in 2006 and used the performance as a springboard for community conversations on taxes and the common good. It was an exciting project - people on both sides of the political aisle found it to be fair, and the conversations proved an interesting way to develop engagement around an often divisive issue. THe program has garnered three national awards - two from the American Association of State and Local History and one from the Federation f State Humanities Councils.
